Sample Book Insights:

#1 The printing press, the telegraph, and the internet have all changed the way we communicate. But the act of journalism has not changed much over the years.

#2 The press was supported in part by political parties in the 1800s, but with the emergence of papers like the New York Times, which still promises to report without fear or favor, this open partisanship began to fade.

#3 journalists were only as valuable and efficient as their ability to be self-directed, self-managed, and even self- rewarded. In the best of days, reporters were kept on a short leash by management.

#4 Until about 1950, the public received its news almost exclusively through print, radio, and cinema newsreels. Television was a cool medium that required more interaction from the audience.
